Remove Warts From The Face, Hands & Body - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Warts are unsightly, stubborn growths which can develop on the skin of both men and women, irrespective of their age. They can show up almost anywhere on the face and body but most commonly appear on the face, neck and hands. Most people develop warts at some time in their life, and though warts are unattractive, they are harmless. Warts on the face and body can affect our self-confidence in a very big way and not only do they look unsightly, they can also take some years to resolve when left untreated.

Warts are caused by a virus and they're one of the most common skin infections you can have. They are easily spread by direct contact and you can easily infect yourself again, when you touch the wart and then touch other parts of your body. The wart virus usually enters the skin through defects in the epidermis, which is the outer layer of the skin. They are often seen as an embarrassing thing to have, especially when they are on a visible part of the body, such as the face and hands.

Some types of warts are:

• Common warts - they can appear anywhere on the face, hands or body. They are rough, with a grainy appearance and a rounded top, and look more grey coloured than the surrounding skin.
• Flat warts - are slow-growing, they're small and not obvious straight away. They are smooth and flat with a rough appearance and can look pink, brownish, or slightly yellow.
• Filiform warts - are flesh coloured warts which are small and shaped like a tiny flap or tag of skin, and grow around the mouth or nose and sometimes under the chin or on the neck.
• Plantar warts - are also known as verrucas, and they grow on the soles of the feet, but unlike other warts these grow into your skin, not out of it. Plantar warts are flat with a black centre, and they're surrounded by hardened skin. They can cause pain or discomfort when you walk.
• Periungual warts - grow under and around the toenails and fingernails and they can cause pain and affect nail growth.

Radio surgery treatment is an ideal method for wart removal. The high frequency radio waves generate heat, which then evaporates the wart. The advanced technology of this treatment generates much less heat that other conventional methods, which results in minimal scarring to the skin. Radio surgery penetrates the area of a wart, and the electrode of the radio wand travels over the wart, heating the area and removing the wart without needing to cut the skin. With this treatment, downtime is almost non-existent and you'll be able to get back to normal quickly, without any lingering discomfort.
